Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Sorry people but this trend of putting big lists in signatures is too much of a pain. When I'm using my phone and 90% of vertical real estate is signatures it does my head in. I cannot believe that anyone has ever read through one of those lists with any interest at all. I'm afraid I'm starting the process of setting everyone with a big list to ignore so that I don't have to scroll past their signature lists. If I feel like expanding their post I can. If you have a big list in your signature but would like to ensure I've seen something please PM me so I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've selected something like 'don't show signatures' in my preferences box so I never see all that stuff. Can't remember exactly where it is but I'll have a look for you and get back to you. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I have to admit I agree with Farns, some of those lists are massive, and I never care to read them anyway. thx for the tip Pip.. handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I will try that setting too as I also hate the long equipment list sig files. Some of us I imagine could list enough gear to keep you scrolling for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I must confess, Since I don't do any internet browsing on my phone at all (no social media, no web forums), and I visit this site on my home computer alone, the large lists really don't matter much one way or the other to me. At work, to the topic anyway, I have admonished everyone who works for me, "When passing information onto the bosses via your email, and knowing full well that they'll be checking those emails on their Blackberry or iPhone, PLEASE remove your signatures." The boss doesn't need to scroll and scroll just to get the full picture of all the give and take of a given email exchange.

fortyearspickn Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Some folks feel compelled to list not just "Kyser capos" But Kyser capo, red Kyser capo, black. Kyser capo, US red, white & blue. Kyser capo, broken Out for repairs Kyser capo, reliced. Then, on to the Shubbs. Possibly they don't realize they can use a spreadsheet app to maintain their inventory lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
